Is the term "demo" still valid?

category: general [glöplog]
Demo stands for demonstration of the abilities of the coder, and the other people involved in the making of the demo. But are you making demos only for showing off your abilities or are there any other reasons,too? If a demo isn't primarily made for showing off, but for other reasons (e.g. expressing a message), should it still be called a demo?

Let's call them EgoBoosters, because that's why we all do them. And to attract teenage grupies of course.

I think demos should be called YHWH's!

Yes, for the 190 EUR we got for winning "Amiga Demo" at BP06, we built 2 houses and filled them with lusty teenager groupies.

Think again - it's about passion, curiousity and a demonstration of what we can do in general.
Uncle X can bend his thumb in a wicked way... next time we'll demo that!
Now, I stop the bullshitting, I have 4 lusty teenager groupies waiting for me in the ShitFaced Clowns royal suite that we rent with the real-wild prize money.

Stay tuned for the next GBA EgoBooster(TM) by Shitfaced Clowns!

uncle-x: yes Sir, good idea!

Scrollers and copperbars aren't any worse than ballet dancers born in some twisted minds!!! ;)

Zplex, then go ahead and make something you want instead. That's the point of it, after all. Meanwhile, I'll start working on my next egoBoosters.
